Yes, this exactly!
The guys were gassed. If it was set for set, they'd be hanging in there, or even leading. But the workload is getting compounded by mistakes, penalties and 6 agains(some justified, others??) And poor decisions.

34 percent possession is the problem, no side is going to beat a quality side like the panthers or even Melbourne with possession like that

Munster has been the worst for us lately, done nothing since origin.

3 attacking kicks to open the half and each time we don’t compete for the ball, we can’t do anything right. Fundamentals are just off everywhere it’s hard to watch.

Do we want to put the ball up high and compete for possession? Nah, just gently chip it to them.

Wishy has a big heart, but putting him on the wing just isn't doing him or the team any favours.

Young to wing, eisenhuth to center

I said pre-game Panthers by 20. Looks like I may have been wildly optimistic.

As much as it hurts to admit it, barring a string of injuries and suspensions, Penrith look like a deadset lock for the threepeat.... utterly relentless

And that’s my issue with Seve. He puts in but does random shit he doesn’t need to do and just hurts the team.
